Coordinating Office for the RIDGE Initiative

全球治理信息网络办公室将提供协调中心和必要的信息， 协调，因为RIDGE全球变化倡议使 从规划阶段过渡到研究阶段。的 该办公室的目的是保持RIDGE的势头 在早期规划阶段和中期规划阶段之间的过渡期间， 积极开展实地、实验室和理论研究， 努力，并协调所需的基础工作， 最有效和最有价值地利用资源信息和地理信息网络的资金。初级 未来两年的工作将包括实施 准备时间长的活动，包括仪器开发和 数据管理;启动特殊领域方案; 协调各种研究活动， 举办第一届RIDGE暑期研究所， 推动理论建设突飞猛进 国际合作研究努力， 多边一级;继续发展和完善 RIDGE科学执行计划;出版和分发 所有规划成果;落实能力， 快速有效地应对瞬时脊顶事件; 材料性能研究分析，以支持 脊领域和理论工作;以及 定期新闻

The RIDGE office will provide the focal point and the necessary coordination as the RIDGE global change initiative makes the transition from the planning phase into its research phase. The purpose of the office is to maintain the momentum of the RIDGE program during the transition between the early planning phase and active implementation of field, laboratory, and theoretical efforts, and to coordinate the groundwork required to make themost efficient and valuable use of RIDGE funding. Primary efforts in the coming two years will involve implementation of long lead time activities, including instrument development and data management; initiation of special field programs; coordination of research activities supported by a variety of agencies; convening the first RIDGE Summer Institute designed to foster rapid progress in theoretical development; pursuit of international cooperative research efforts at bilateral and multilateral level; continued development and refinement of the RIDGE Science Implementation Plan; publication and distribution of all planning results; implementation of the capability to respond quickly and effectively to transient ridge-crest events; analysis of material-properties research required to support RIDGE field and theoretical efforts; and a periodic newletter.
